Difference between Escape velocity and Gravitational potential

Escape velocity vs. Gravitational potential

In physics, escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for an object to escape from the gravitational influence of a massive body. In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work (energy transferred) per unit mass that would be needed to move the object from a fixed reference location to the location of the object.

Similarities between Escape velocity and Gravitational potential

Escape velocity and Gravitational potential have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Earth, Gravitational constant, Infinity, Low Earth orbit, McGraw-Hill Education, Milky Way, Nelson Thornes, Standard gravitational parameter, Sun.

Earth

Gravitational constant

The gravitational constant (also known as the "universal gravitational constant", the "Newtonian constant of gravitation", or the "Cavendish gravitational constant"), denoted by the letter, is an empirical physical constant involved in the calculation of gravitational effects in Sir Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation and in Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
